Urodynamic Assessment in Evaluation of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Abstract

More than 50% of aging men suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms. Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) are very common symptoms among aging men. LUTS may be either due to storage or voiding disorder of bladder. The evaluation of BPH either due to storage or voiding disorder can be completed by urodynamic studies. A small percentage of cases with neurogenic component can be due to detrusor instability for which surgery alone gives poor outcome. Management of these patients are complex. The present study centres on the patients with BPH having bladder outlet obstruction associated with the neurogenic component.
